Definitions
- the present invention is based on my discovery that enhanced acetone conversion and improved BPA productivity can be achieved in bisphenol A synthesis by diverting part of the acetone, normally fed to the condensation reactor, to the rearrangement reactor. I have further found that if the amount of acetone diverted is held within certain limits, as defined hereinafter, the product distribution of the condensation reactor effluent can be substantially maintained. Improved efficiency in the production of bisphenol A is realized as the result of such higher acetone conversion.
- a process for making bisphenol A by feeding phenol and acetone into a condensation reactor at a temperature of about 50°C to about 120°C in the presence of an ion exchange catalyst to produce a mixture of bisphenol A, phenol and bisphenol A isomers, which thereafter are separated in a crystallizer to provide the recovery of bisphenol A and the recycling back to the condensation reactor of a mixture of phenol and bisphenol A isomers, through the rearrangement reactor, which comprises the improvement of diverting part of the acetone initially fed to the condensation reactor to the rearrangement reactor, whereby an improvement in overall acetone conversion is achieved, while the product distribution of the condensation reactor effluent is substantially maintained.
- the process of the present invention can be conducted under substantially anhydrous conditions where the water resulting from the condensation reaction and rearrangement reaction is less than 2% and preferably less than 1.5% in the reaction mixture.
- Mole ratios of phenol to acetone which are used in the practice of the method of the invention, can be from about 2:1 to about 30:1, and preferably about 10:1.
- ion-exchange resin catalysts can be used in the practice of the method of the present invention.
- strong-acid ion exchange resins including resins or polymers can be used which have a plurality of appended sulfonic acid groups.
- Some of these ion exchange resins are, for example, sulfonated polystyrene or poly-(styrene-divinyl-benzene)copolymers and sulfonated phenolformaldehyde resins.
- the acid ion exchange resins can be partially modified by reacting the acidic groups with mercapto alkyl amines, by partially esterifying the acid resins with a mercapto alcohol, or with an alkyl amine precursor such as thiazolidines.
- the unmodified ion-exchange resins generally have an ion-exchange capacity preferably of at least about 2.0 milliequivalents H+, with exchange capacities in the range of from about 3 to about 5 milliequivalents of H+ per gram of dry resin. About 5% to about 35% of more, preferably from about 10% to about 25% of acid sites are modified by reacting the acid sites with a mercapto group.
- the reaction can be carried out at between about 50°C and about 120°C, and preferably between about 60°C and 80°C.
- the weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of the reactor feed to the condensation reactor and the rearramgememt reactpr may vary within the limits of from about 0.05 to about 15 parts by weight of feed per part of catalyst per hour.
- WHSV weight hourly space velocity
- the process of the invention is applicable to the preparation of bis(hydroxyphenyl)compounds and such compounds are derived by substituting or including, in addition to phenol, other phenolic reactants including ortho- and meta-cresol; 2,6-dimethylphenol; ortho-secondary butylphenol; ortho-tertiary butylphenol: 2,6-ditertiary butylphenol; 1,3,5-xylenol, tetramethylphenol; 2-methyl-6-tertiary butylphenol; ortho-phenyl-phenol; ortho-metachloro- phenol; ortho-bromophenol; t-chloro-ortho-cresol; 2,6-dichlorophenol.
- Phenol is the preferred phenolic reactant.
- the process of the present invention can be carried out by substituting aldehydes or other ketones for acetone.
- aldehydes or other ketones include methylethyl ketone, methyl propyl ketone, acetophenone, methyl vinyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, benzophenone, hexalfluoracetone, etc.
- the mother liquor and the 1:1 adduct are separated in a centrifuge (not shown).
- the crude bisphenol A after separation, has a 1:1 molar BPA/phenol crystalline adduct and removed and stripped of phenol and further crystallized to yield high purity bisphenol A product crystals.
- the mother liquor consisting of a mixture of phenol, BPA isomers and various by-products is then fed at 7 0 to the rearrangement reactor to increase the yield of para,para-bisphenol A and the resulting product is then fed to the condensation reactor.
- a line at 80 is shown from the acetone make-up feed to the rearrangement reactor in accordance with the practice of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a simulated laboratory arrangement used in the example where a recycle stream is fed directly to the rearrangement reactor.
- reactors Two glass tubular vertically positioned reactors (1" x 12") were connected as shown in Figure 2. Each reactor had a perforated disc at its bottom to support an ion exchange bed. Isothermal operation was maintained in each reactor by circulating hot oil through the reactor jacket.
- Rearrangement reactor there was used 38 grams of DUOLITE ES-291, which is a macroporous polystyrene divinylbenzene ion exchange resin, having 10% of its acid sites neutralized with 2-mercaptoethylamine.
- the other reactor referred to hereinafter as the "condensation reactor" had 14 grams dry weight of a microreticular sulfonated polystyrene divinylbenzene ion exchange resin (Amberlite 1l8 ⁇ ) with about 20% of its acid sites neutralized with 2-mercaptoethylamine.
- Condensation reactor had 14 grams dry weight of a microreticular sulfonated polystyrene divinylbenzene ion exchange resin (Amberlite 1l8 ⁇ ) with about 20% of its acid sites neutralized with 2-mercaptoethylamine.
- a synthetic feed mixture was used as the recycle stream. It had the following composition (wt %):
- the above recycle stream was fed continuously through two reactors injecting phenol and acetone at the inlet of the reactors which were maintained at a temperature of 70°C. Metering pumps were used to control the feed flow rates through the reactors. The feed and the reaction effluent samples were analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography.
